Dipak Bohara Profile
Wicketkeeper-Batter
Nepal U19 World Cup wicketkeeper-batter and Sudurpaschim Royals 2026 lucky-draw signing.
Dipak Bohara is a Nepalese wicketkeeper-batter born on 26 December 2004 in Baitadi. He played for Nepal at the 2023/24 Under-19 World Cup and now keeps wicket for Sudurpaschim Royals in the Nepal Premier League, having also played for Biratnagar Kings in the tournament's 2024 debut season.
Career Highlights
Key numbers
Dipak Bohara represented Nepal at the Under-19 Cricket World Cup and has been a consistent auction pick across three straight NPL seasons — evidence that franchises rate his glove work and squad depth even though he is yet to break into Nepal's senior international side. This profile covers Dipak Bohara (born 26 December 2004, Baitadi), the wicketkeeper who has played for Biratnagar Kings and Sudurpaschim Royals in the NPL; he should not be confused with Deepak Bohara, the Chitwan Rhinos off-break bowler born in Dadeldhura.
Player Profile
Cricket Career
Playing Style
Bohara is a specialist wicketkeeper who bats in the lower-middle order. His NPL appearances so far show a player used mainly for his glovework rather than as a front-line run-scorer: across eight NPL innings, his role has typically been to finish an innings or bat briefly down the order, with a top score of 20. He does not bowl.
Because his sample size at franchise level is still small and no detailed scouting reports on his wicketkeeping are publicly available from verified cricket media, this profile avoids speculating beyond what the raw numbers and squad selections show: he has been trusted with the keeper's gloves by Biratnagar Kings and Sudurpaschim Royals across three NPL seasons.
Early Career
Bohara came through Sudur Paschim Province's age-group system and represented Nepal Under-19s. He was part of Nepal's squad at the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup 2023/24 in South Africa, featuring as wicketkeeper in the tournament, including Nepal's Super Six match against India in Bloemfontein.
Domestic Career
Beyond his NPL appearances, Bohara has represented Sudur Paschim Province and its Under-19 setup domestically. Detailed provincial-level match statistics were not available from verified sources at the time of writing and are marked as a data gap rather than estimated.
International Career
As of July 2026, Bohara has not made his debut for Nepal's senior T20I or ODI side. He remains uncapped at the full international level, with his representative honors to date limited to the Under-19 World Cup.
